replying to u/itskarannotkaren: Claude has a pretty good one! I also like the one in Mia's and Martha's bakery (both in brooklyn though)
“Tried Claude’s (the bakery not the restaurant that also has a great chocolate cake) this weekend and the ganache was the best part. Super high quality chocolate used that gives the ganache fruity notes.”

replying to u/shamam: Are they still good? I haven’t been in there since they changed hands.
“Yes actually! I was definitely worried about that with the change over but I haven’t noticed any changes in quality I’d say the bigger change is just the menu direction but the classics are all the same”

replying to u/okayyyyyy-: There’s often confusion between the Claude (bakery) chocolate cake and the Claud (restaurant, no “e”) chocolate cake. I think Claud’s is the one to beat.
“the cake itself is more dry than Claude”

replying to u/Calm_Machine7634: If you’re talking about Claud (known for their chocolate cake) check out the recent post on here about how they allegedly decorate it. That was enough to cross it off my list

replying to u/shamam: To be fair, they are re-opening. Pablo wasn't the first owner, he worked for Claude and bought him out when he retired. I'll reserve judgement for now.
